<p>Crews are working hard to welcome guests back two days after fire. </p> <p>The fire that <a target="_blank" href="http://charleston.eater.com/2014/9/30/6872685/fire-strikes-king-street-bar-prohibition-last-night">temporarily closed</a> King Street bar <b>Prohibition </b>started when a passer-by extinguished their cigarette (or cigar) into the establishment's storefront. <i>City Paper</i> tracked down owner John Teevan, and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/Eat/archives/2014/09/30/prohibition-to-reopen-tomorrow-after-monday-fire">he told them</a> Prohibition will be back in business on Wednesday, October 1, at 4:00 p.m.</p>
<p>Teevan says that crews are hard at work to get the bar cleaned up for tomorrow.</p>

<p>Reports of smoke led to firefighters on the scene. </p> <p>Yesterday, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.live5news.com/story/26657084/emergency-officials-crews-put-out-fire-at-downtown-charleston-restaurant">around 4:30 p.m.</a>, the Charleston Fire Department arrived at Jazz Age bar <b>Prohibition</b> to investigate claims of smoke. <i>Post and Courier</i> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20140929/PC16/140929319/1177/smoke-possible-structure-fire-reported-on-king-street">reports </a>the fire was under control by 6:30 p.m.</p>
<p>This morning, the establishment at 547 King St. is wrapped in yellow caution tape, and a window is boarded up. The extent of the damage is unknown at this time. Unfortunately, this stretch of King seems to have bad luck, as just last June, the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.abcnews4.com/story/25674753/king-street-fire-started-in-apartment-above-torch">building neighboring</a> Prohibition caught fire.</p>
